Eating Disorder Treatment: Berkshire, MA

You don't need a diagnosis to deserve support.

You might relate to:

• Constantly thinking about food, eating, or your body

• Feeling "out of control" around food at times

• Swinging between restriction and overeating

• Guilt or shame after eating

• Avoiding certain foods—or entire food groups

• Body checking, comparison, or avoiding mirrors altogether

• Feeling like your self-worth is tied to your body or eating habits

Even if things don't look "severe," if it's taking up space in your life, it matters.

Eating disorders are real, valid, and deserving of support. They can also show up in ways that are not always obvious from the outside.

Some diagnoses you may have heard of include:

• Anorexia

• Bulimia

• Binge Eating Disorder

• OSFED/EDNOS

These experiences often involve patterns like restriction, binge eating, purging, or an intense focus on weight and shape.

And also—many people struggle deeply with food and their body without fitting neatly into one of these categories.

You do not need a diagnosis. You do not need to be "sick enough." You do not need to wait for things to get worse.

If your relationship with food or your body is causing distress, that is enough.

CBT-E is an evidence-based approach specifically designed for eating disorders. We use it in a flexible, compassionate way—never rigid or one-size-fits-all.

This may include:

• Understanding your patterns: Looking at how restriction, binge eating, thoughts, and emotions are connected

• Regular and consistent eating: Gently working toward more structured, consistent nourishment to reduce chaos around food

• Identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts: Especially around food, body, control, and self-worth

• Reducing body checking and avoidance: Exploring ways to shift your relationship with your body over time

• Decoupling self-worth from weight and shape: Expanding your identity beyond how your body looks

• Building alternative coping strategies: So food doesn't have to carry the weight of managing emotions

We go at your pace, integrating these tools in a way that feels collaborative—not overwhelming.

Together, we can work toward:

• Feeling more at ease and less consumed by food thoughts

• Breaking cycles of restriction and binge eating

• Rebuilding trust with your body

• Navigating emotional triggers without relying on food

• Improving body image and self-worth

• Developing a more flexible, sustainable way of eating

This isn't about "perfect eating." It's about finding a way of relating to food and your body that feels more peaceful and supportive.

I support adults who:

• Feel stuck in chronic dieting or food obsession

• Experience binge/restrict cycles

• Struggle with body image or self-worth

• Tend toward perfectionism or people-pleasing

• Feel disconnected from their body's needs

• Are navigating anxiety, stress, or life transitions alongside food struggles

You don't have to have it all figured out to start.

We'll explore what dieting has provided for you and what it may be costing you. Change happens collaboratively—not through force.

This is a very real and valid fear. We will talk about it openly and at your pace, without dismissing your concerns.

You don't have to be. Therapy can begin with simply getting curious about your experience.

Yes. Food and body struggles are often connected to anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress.
